SQL Loader is creating a log file of 0 (zero) bytes.

Hello!!
I am using SQL Loader to load data from a .txt file to a Oracle table.
Following is the control file:
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
CONTINUEIF LAST != "|"
INTO TABLE product_review_dtl
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '||' TRAILING NULLCOLS
indiv_review_id INTEGER EXTERNAL,
pid INTEGER EXTERNAL,
merchant_review_id INTEGER EXTERNAL,
merchant_user_id CHAR "SUBSTR(:merchant_user_id,1,20)",
review_status_txt CHAR "SUBSTR(:review_status_txt,1,20)",
review_create_date DATE "YYYY-MM-DD",
helpful_votes_cnt INTEGER EXTERNAL,
not_helpful_votes_cnt INTEGER EXTERNAL,
review_source_txt CHAR "SUBSTR(:review_source_txt,1,30)",

confirmed_status_grp INTEGER EXTERNAL "TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(:confirmed_status_grp),1,5))",
location_txt CHAR "SUBSTR(:location_txt,1,100)"
Some records are loaded. A log file is also created but it is empty. Can you help me find out why the log file is empty?

Hello Folks!!
I have 2 input files with different encoding (apparent in case of special characters).
File 1 loads successfully. For File 2 loader gives a memory fault while loading. Hence the log file is of 0 bytes. I still have no clue as to why is the loader giving a memory fault. It is not an OS level memory fault as analysed by the OS team. Please help!
Thanks in advance :)Unknown OS
Unknown database version
No details about what import command was used or the options specified
No samples / details of input files or their encoding
No details about exact error message of "memory fault"
No help is possible ;-)

Make sql*loader always create a bad file

on day 1, i run the sql*loader program to load table A; 6 records reject from the load and go to the bad file; our users have a link that they review to see the records in the bad file
on day 2, i run the sql*loader program to load table A; no records reject this time, so a bad file isn't created; however the link that was established for our users still points to the bad file from the previous day's run
is there a way to always create a bad file??? if no records reject from the load, i want sql*loader to create an empty bad file; this way our user's link will point to an empty file and they'll know there were no rejects

Try creating a dummy, empty .bad file (touch dummy_file.bad). At the beginning of your script copy the dummy over the top of the old one.
If SQL Loader doesn't need to create a new one, the dummy will remain. If it needs to create one, it will over write the dummy.
This is a roundabout way of doing this. There might be something easier.

SQL LOADER NOT GENERATING BAD,LOG FILES

Hi
I am calling sqlloader from sql script using host command.We are using parameter file to mention about bad,log,ctl files.sql loader is running successfully all the records are inserted.but the problem is ,it is not creating log file,bad files ....Please give me suggestions.
Thanks.

Hi,
As per ur saying the recodes are inserted successfully, so the bad file wont get created. And considering the log file, the path should mentioned in the CTL file and if not mentioned then the log file will created in the same area where the CTL file with the name of ctl file with extension .log instead of .ctl

SQL*Loader Error Field in data file exceeds maximum length", version 8.1.6

Hi All,
I am trying to load a data file into a database table using SQL loader. I
received the data in an data file but I saved it as a pipe delimited
file.
When I run the SQL Loader command no records are loaded - looking at the log
file I get the following error:
Rejected - Error on table FARESDATA, column FANOTESIN.
Then I tried with substr and doesnt seem to work for values greater than 4000 chars, it only works if the field value is below 4000 chars (say doing a substr for first 3000 chars).
see the code--------
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'p.dat'
APPEND INTO TABLE PROSPECTUS
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
Fanotesin char(4000) "substr(:fanotesin,1,4000)"
We get the error ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column when using substr for 4000 chars.
Please help!
Thanks,
Rajesh

I believe the problem here is that the ORACLE database regards anything > 4000chs as a CLOB (or LONG). 4000 is the maximum length of a varchar2 field in the database, although of course you can declare larger values in PL/SQL. (Since the incoming data is > 4000 chs it is regarded as a LONG and you cannot therefore use SUBSTR on it)
I think that you must either truncate your data before loading or load into a table with the offending field as a CLOB (or LONG)
and then use PL/SQL to recreate it in a table with a varchar2(4000) which is otherwise identical. (You can select from a LONG into a varchar2(32000) for example and then truncate before writing out to the new table).

How to create different log files for each of web applications deployed in OC4J

Hi All,
I am using OC4J(from Oracle) v1.0.2.2 and Windows2000. Now I want to know
1. how to create different log files for each of my deployed web applications ?
2. what are the advantages in running multiple instances of oc4j and in what case we should run
multiple instances of OC4J ?
3. how to run OC4J as Windows2000 Service rather than Windows2000 Application ?
Thanks and Regards,
Kumar.

Hi Avi,
First of all I have given a first reading to log4j and I think there will some more easy way of logging debugging messages than log4j (If you could provide me a detailed explanation of a servlet,jsp,java bean that uses log4j and how to use log4j then it will be very helpful for me). The other easy ways (if I am not using log4j) to my problem i.e creating different log files for each of web applications deployed in oc4j are
I have created multiple instances of OC4J that are configured to run on different ports and so on each instance I have deployed a single web application . And I started the 2 oc4j instances by transferring thier error/log messages to a file. And the other way is ..
I have download from jakarta site a package called servhelper . This servhelper is a thread that is started in a startup servlet and stopped in the destroy method of that startup servlet. So this thread will automatically capture all the system.out.println's and will print those to a file. I believe that this thread program is synchronized. So in this method I need not run multiple instances of OC4J instead each deployed web application on single instance of oc4j uses the same thread program (ofcourse a copy of thread program is put in each of the deployed web applications directories) to log messages on to different log files.
Can you comment on my above 2 approached to logging debugging messages and a compartive explanation to LOG4J and how to use LOG4J using a simple servlet, simple jsp is appreciated ...
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi.

System errors - creating a log file

Is there any class, method for trapping system, application errors, exceptions and warnings in a system and then creating a log file.

It sounds like the OP is looking for a way to "listen" for System events and log those to a file. Is this correct? If so, you'll probably need to look at a JNI solution...

Reader 10.1 update fails, creates huge log files

Last night I saw the little icon in the system tray saying an update to Adobe Reader was ready to be installed.
I clicked it to allow the install.
Things seemed to go OK (on my Windows XP Pro system), although very slowly, and it finally got to copying files.
It seemed to still be doing something and was showing that it was copying file icudt40.dll. It still displayed the same thing ten minutes later.
I went to bed, and this morning it still showed that it was copying icutdt40.dll.
There is no "Cancel" button, so this morning I had to stop the install through Task Manager.
Now, in my "Local Settings\TEMP" directory, I have a file called AdobeARM.log that is 2,350,686 KB in size and a file MSI38934.LOG that is 4,194,304 KB in size.
They are so big I can't even look at them to see what's in them. (Too big for Notepad. When I tried to open the smaller log file, AdobeARM.log, with Wordpad it was taking forever and showing only 1% loaded, so after five minutes, I terminated the Wordpad process so I could actually do something useful with my computer.)
You would think the installer would be smart enough to stop at some point when the log files begin to get enormous.
There doesn't seem to be much point to creating log files that are too big to be read.
The update did manage to remove the Adobe Reader X that was working on my machine, so now I can no longer read PDF files.
Maybe I should go back Adobe Reader 9.
Reader X never worked very well.
Sometimes the menu bar showed up, sometimes it didn't.
PDF files at the physics e-print archive always loaded with page 2 displayed first. And if you forgot to disable the look-ahead capability, you could get banned from the e-print archive site altogether.
And I liked the user interface for the search function a lot better in version 9 anyway. Who wants to have to pop up a little box for your search phrase when you want to search? Searching is about the most important and routine activity one does, other than going from page to page and setting the zoom.

Hi Ankit,
Thank you for your e-mail.
Yesterday afternoon I deleted the > 2 GB AdobeARM.log file and the > 4.194 GB
MSI38934.LOG file.
So I can't upload them. I expect I would have had a hard time doing so
anyway.
It would be nice if the install program checked the size of the log files
before writing to them and gave up if the size was, say, three times larger
than some maximum expected size.
The install program must have some section that permits infinite retries or
some other way of getting into an endless loop. So another solution would be
to count the number of retries and terminate after some reasonable number of
attempts.
Something had clearly gone wrong and there was no way to stop it, except by
going into the Task Manager and terminating the process.
If the install program can't terminate when the log files get too big, or if
it can't get out of a loop some other way, there might at least be a "Cancel"
button so the poor user has an obvious way of stopping the process.
As it was, the install program kept on writing to the log files all night
long.
Immediately after deleting the two huge log files, I downloaded and installed
Adobe Reader 10.1 manually.
I was going to turn off Norton 360 during the install and expected there
would be some user input requested between the download and the install, but
there wasn't.
The window showed that the process was going automatically from download to
install.
When I noticed that it was installing, I did temporarily disable Norton 360
while the install continued.
The manual install went OK.
I don't know if temporarily disabling Norton 360 was what made the difference
or not.
I was happy to see that Reader 10.1 had kept my previous preference settings.
By the way, one of the default settings in "Web Browser Options" can be a
problem.
I think it is the "Allow speculative downloading in the background" setting.
When I upgraded from Reader 9 to Reader 10.0.x in April, I ran into a
problem.
I routinely read the physics e-prints at arXiv.org (maintained by the Cornell
University Library) and I got banned from the site because "speculative
downloading in the background" was on.
[One gets an "Access denied" HTTP response after being banned.]
I think the default value for "speculative downloading" should be unchecked
and users should be warned that one can lose the ability to access some sites
by turning it on.
I had to figure out why I was automatically banned from arXiv.org, change my
preference setting in Adobe Reader X, go to another machine and find out who
to contact at arXiv.org [I couldn't find out from my machine, since I was
banned], and then exchange e-mails with the site administrator to regain
access to the physics e-print archive.
The arXiv.org site has followed the standard for robot exclusion since 1994
(http://arxiv.org/help/robots), and I certainly didn't intend to violate the
rule against "rapid-fire requests," so it would be nice if the default
settings for Adobe Reader didn't result in an unintentional violation.
